The world is a hard place and people are mean and cruel to each other. They lie; they cheat; they steal, and then one day if you become old in Cornwall Ontario it can be a very scary thing unless you have an awful lot of money; but that’s for a whole other story.

No tonight I’m in a warm house; full of tea, with my loved ones nearby, some still alive that won’t be in a few years. Some great friends. Some great co-conspirators. Some great co-workers.

Surviving is an amazing thing and all of us survivors should smile tonight as the stars twinkle above us.

Since you’re here …

… we’ve got a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Cornwall Free News than ever, but far fewer are paying for it.

Advertising revenues across media are falling fast. And unlike some other news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism open to all. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. CFN’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure. Please click the donate button below.

Jamie your story reminds me of a bender I was on 35 years ago
Cornwall council had decided to let Domtar dump tons of
“stuff” locally saving millions in trucking fees
The trucks ran non stop into that site and nobody was checking each and every load
Strange I gave up alcohol for good that night and turned my life around.Wish I could say the same about the old boys club that has run this town into the ground..it breaks my heart to drive thru downtown that looks like some backwater.

You are so right about that “goal crease” across Ferris face
Man with all the debate about how hard hits are ruining the NFL and leading some former stars to do themselves in.
Getting wacked by a hockey stick in a senior hockey league seems way dangerous…glad u didn’t hit him with your camera as he rushed at you
